The Cat
We'll call her "Belle". (Yes, I took my nom de blog from the cat.) She's been acting up. She's bored. I'm covered in scratches. I haven't gotten a full night's sleep in a week. I'm on the edge.
This black cat was hanging around last week. Belle followed him from window to window, just watching him. For hours. It got me thinking that maybe she needs a companion. I know it's a little Cat Lady-ish of me, but I think she's jealous of J. I think she wants her own friend. So I started seriously considering the possibility of getting a kitten.
But Belle is tough, I don't know how she'll react. And J is likely to move in sometime in the near future and he'd rather not live with 2 cats (allergies).
So, instead I bought a harness and leash. Hopefully, getting outside a little bit will help tire her out and expand her world.
She didn't like it very much in the beginning. She ran back inside at the first opportunity. So I opened the balcony door and let her take her time. She took a little while, but after a few minutes, she jumped onto the railing and onto the grass. She explored a bit and then went back inside.
Now let's see if she lets me sleep tonight.
On a completely separate note, I've been spammed. I received my first spam comment. Grrr... How f-ing annoying. I've added word verification.
